Great Battle May Last For Many

Arriving for Kaiser's Men
(By Associated Presn.)
Ixmdon, Sept. 9.-The allied armlc3
continue to have the advantage, ac
cording to French official reports, In
what only can be the preliminaries of
a great battle extending from Meaux,
northeast of Pari?, to the Fortress ot
Verdun, about 200 miles farther east.
Thc Germans, who have brought up
reinforcements, arc striking at the al
lies' left and cantor between M ont mi
ra il and Vitry-LeFrancois, a front of
from fifty to sixty miles, . but each
time they have been driven back.
This is not surprising to military
men, as the Germans' have been com
pelled to advance through the swamps
of tho Petit Morin, and then over bare
uplands to the extremely strong
French position on tho right, it is
their only chance, however, and it is
expected they will strike and strike,
again.
Thc Germans are bringing their re
inforcements down from Chalons on
the roads leading to Fere-Champe
noise, Sommesous and Sompuis, in the
fr.ee of the French artillery posted .on
tho heights, \wblch give the French .a
great advantage
General Pan. who commands the
center ot the French army, in thia
district. Is reported to be advancing
north of Sezanne towards the plateaux
cnmnisndinK ibo oeuior uf tu? yrh?l?
batifoiimu. On his left tue British
force has driven the Germana across
the Grand Motin and Petit Morin
rivers, towards the Marne itself, while
on the extreme left the French, sixth
army, advancing from Paru along
thc Ourcq river, has had further sue
ceases and ls threatening General
Klucks communication.
In the east tho Germans so far
have failed In their attempts to break
across the rivers and through the hills
of Argonne between Vitry-LeFrancols
and Verdun on the right wing of the
allie?
Again, according to French reports,
there has been no action against the
Grand Couronne of Nancy, and In the
Vosges and Alsace tito situation re
mains unchanged.
All this favorable nows has- cheered
the gilles,, but military critics warn
the public that the bacuo has not been
won yet, and that there probably will
bc a week or more fighting before a
decision is reached.

Besides this, India lg to pay thc coat

raised in their own country and Eng

ies have placed their ships, men and
money at the- disposal of the home

of the empire have been recruited

"The oT.cial bureau has issued a
denial of the report that dominion

statement has been Issued regarding
the movements' of the Indian contin
gent, except that some of them left
India several weeks ago. the opinion
is general that they either have join
ed G?rerai French's forces or are
ebout to do so.
The report that a great Russian
force had gone to join the allies in
Franco seeing to have arisen from tho
fact that Russian reservists from Eng
land, the United States and other
countries who could not get to their
own country, joined the French army.
In the United Kingdom recruiting!

Delay in Move Against Germans
Increases Toll of Human Life
When Fight Does Begin
(By Associated Press )
Tokio, August 18.-Japan'? decision
to send an ultimatum to Germany and
thus ext?nd the ti:e?trd of war from
Europe to Asia, was reached only, af
ter some discussion among Japanese
statesmen.
It was the genro or elder statesmen
who first opposed Japan's participa
tion Extensiv J negotiations wero
necessary also between Oreat Britain
and Japan before ah accord was
reached as to tho sphere of Japan's ac.
tlon and the exact program Japan was
to carry out in the fulfilment of her
alliance with England.
As soon as war was declared be
tween England and Germany, Japan
mobilized ber fleet and soon after that
several ?u-my corps were ordered In
readiness for quien mobilization. The
third Japanese squadron, located at
Shanghai, was reinforced by se vera i
warships from the home fleet and a
patrol was established In the historic
Straits of Tsushima.
A flying squadron of seven cruisers
was organized at Yokohoma with
Prince Fushlml in command, while
Hh'e battleship squadron at Sazebb
was increased to eight bbs gun ships;
including the dreadnought Kongo and
new draudnought Hlyel.
On August ll, when everybody tn
Japan bad been prepared tor a com
munication from the government re
garding her participation in the hos
tilities, a halt came in the general ac
tivities-.
This was explained as due first to
a hitch la the negotiations between
Japan and Engiarld concerning the
acope of Japan's 'action and being albo
d?o io Great Britain's desire io cm??i
America that Japan bad any.designs
fear? Uaat might exist lu China and ia
upon the integrity of China. Great
Britain was desirous that the world
should not imagine that, with the en
trance ot Japan Into the conflict, a
violent and limitless war waa t*? be
carried on in* the Pacific ocera.
Some discussion, it is said, also was
held upon the question/ of Japan's
?-talus in the peace congress of Eu
rope to he held after conclusions of
the war.
Another important factor in tho situa
tion was that the Japanese themselves
were not in harmony aa to Japan's at
titude, but after a series or delibera
tions they reached unanimity.
- Aa thia correspondence ls leaving,
'roops are being mobilized in differ
ent parts of the empire, including
four regiments'of artillery at Tokio.
A fleet of transports is walting at Mojl
to convey Japan's army to the shores
of China. It is not improbable (bat
an army corps will move down to
wards KlaO-ChoW from Manchuria.
Japanese do not regard the ieduc
tion of Kla-Chow as an easy matter.
They do not, of course, give it any
thing of the same importance as they
attached to Port Arthur, but they re
alise that..curing the long delsy the
Germans have strongly fortified the
port of Tslng-Tau. They know'that
the Germans have dismantled several
warships and have placed several big
guns on the heights of the two arms
of Klao-Chow Bay.
They know, too, that the harbor haa
bean thoroughly minod and that am
munition enough has reached Klao
Chow to enable the Germans to en
dura a long siege. A- ooo man put
it: "Each day that we delay in mov
on Tslng-Tau means a sacrifice of 500
additional lives."

Tax on Cigarette? Will Add Sev

Asked By Wilson
(By Associated Press )
Washington, Sept. 9.-President
Wilson's disapproval today of the
posai to increase the income tax*
a means of raising revenues tooffsct
a treasury deficit doe to the European
war set democratic members of. tho
ways and means committee to reyfa
ing their plans. They will renow. to
morrow the effort to draft a war
revenue bill. The president made^Ms
attitude known at a c giferenco with
democratic leaders of congress.
. Preliminary steps also were takeu
by democratic senators today to read
just the pending $53,000,000 rivers and
harbors appropriation bill, against
which republican senators have etsi*
ducted a filibuster on ground that it
is framed on extravagant lines and
that the $100,000,000 war rovenuojhill
would not be necessary if the View
projects proposed In the bill were
abandoned.
Senators who champion the ?tiffi
have asked the war department tb re
vised est U?ates on the amounts
lately necessary to carry on existia g
river and harbor works and the ut
most urgent new projects In antici
pation of pruning the till.
lt was1 Ttvportod tcstgfct that con

Democratic members of the ways
. means committee conferred In
formally today. They were not'dis
appointed by the president's
proval df their decision to inc
the income tax one half of one
cent and to decrease the exemption.
The president's principal objection
was ?aid to be that Such .a t?x waa
not immediately available and
fore undesirable.
?Chairman Underwood, who.
ed the subject with tas a^sjat?
was inclined to agree with thia view
and lt is improbable that an Income
tax amendment will be 'proposed, gjajf
rettes probably will be added
to tho list of taxable commodities al
ready agreed to, such as beer, wine?
and rectified spirits. A plan alaojds
under consideration to ???*ie a tax Ot?
amt ons dellar a barrel, which weam
yield $65,000,000. Th?t amount, to
gether with the $10,000,000 from
wines. $2,000.000 from rectlued spirits
probably ?3,000,000 from cigarettes,
probable taxes on railroad freight,
gasoline, automobiles, some proprie
tary articles and soft drinks, lt is-es
timated, would yield all the revenue
necessary, particularly . If it ls deter
mined not to appropriate all ot the
$53,000,000 proposed tor river and
harbor work.
Representative Ogl'Sby, of New.
York, in a letter to tue committee,
suggested a tax of fifty cents a horse
power on automatics, not engaged is
ccffiiuarce .and a tai! on golf balla.
He ; etiMmated that ?25,000,000 could
be realised from the automobile teJSP*
Official estimates, however, are V16,
000,000 on motor cars.
The proposal to put a general.tax
ss. raUreed f might ls the main ques
tion now before-the committee, mm
T??\ issue said to be whether to maka
up the necessary balance of revenue
Hy a tax on freight traffic or by W
fuilng tho tax a nong many lines ot
hn-laeas. A levy on freight, lt Is, es
timated, could produce w.mu.w*
revenue, but there ia oohBlderable on
